    The Coventry pitch is still unusable following the egg chasers using it for the Commonwealth Games -

    Feel compelled to ask how was this allowed to happen and affect a Championship team ?

    Anyway, the game will now be played at Burton.

    None as far as I can see unless Nige wants to look at alternative formations or personnel

    Probably because Wasp own the ground not Coventry would be my guess.

    This should give Nigel an opportunity to field an experimental side and give some ‘fringe’ players a runout.

    I don't think he has anything to lose by fielding a different load of players to give them an opportunity to prove their worth. We have too many players who are not performing up to par and this is a chance to tell them they need to up the ante or sit on the bench. Simples!

    You couldn’t make this up <laugh>
    But seriously, I don’t think the LC is a great yardstick for results
    Let’s see if we can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

    Typical - have Coventry fielded a youth side?
